Abu Aseeu
son of Marithannyan
Village confirmed by 1 family member

A passenger's wife and children shared one native village, so when 1 family member who travelled together on the CONGELLA V agree on the village, the place is corroborated — not a lone transcription that could be a clerk's typo. "Confirmed" here means agreement between historical records, not human verification.
